• In the DF Settings > Advanced Settings, make sure that "Don't check NVIDIA processes" is disabled
• Restart DF
• When prompted to disable the NVIDIA Helper Processes, choose yes
• Reboot the computer

It's not doing it at the moment, its an intermittent fault. When it next does it, I'll look. What would you suggest i do if there are?

If you check the Windows Task Manager, are there any "nvsmartmaxapp" processes running? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/task-bars-stuck-on-each-other/?ID=408f3b7f-d73f-4dc6-b401-0e4321abad6a Sun, 20 Dec 2015 11:02:40 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/task-bars-stuck-on-each-other/?ID=408f3b7f-d73f-4dc6-b401-0e4321abad6a DisplayFusion I'm using a triple screen setup with Nvidia Surround.

Usually, everything is great, but sometimes, for no obvious reason, the central monitor taskbar disappears behind the left hand monitor's one. See screenshot below.

Monitor 1 ends up with two taskbars on top of each other.
Monitor 2 has nothing
Monitor 3 has its normal taskbar.

I use the display fusion monitor configuration settings to have 3 screens simulated with a bit of padding (see screenshot 2 below). Don't usually have any issues, but then this happens the only solution is a restart: even restarting display fusion, or turning options on and off doesn't sort it.

Any ideas?
